I connected with girls attending Alabama when they were home for Christmas. Is there anything else I can or should be doing at this point on the calendar?
Thank you in advance

You seem very well prepared so far! I agree with the above poster and would like to add (I'm definitely not an Alabama alumni, but I just rushed in the fall):
-This is a little ahead of time but...Do something you love this summer! Just stressing out over rush all summer will leave you with nothing meaningful to contribute to during conversations when they ask you what you did all summer, and saying the usual, "I went shopping, I went to the beach" definitely won't
hurt you at all, but it certainly won't help you stand out. However if you happen to do something spontaneous or different over the break, it can be a good conversation starter or at least give a better insight into your personality and interests and could make you a memorable PNM (because hey, all girls love shopping and going to the beach).
-It couldn't hurt to start planning what to wear, but keep in mind that things are geared for colder weather right now and all that. But it can't hurt to start online window shopping just for the hell of it.
-Really, the biggest preparation before rush is doing all the activities you've been doing, and getting those recs, and you seem to be well on your way!
Right now it's January, so don't stress too much! It'll be an exciting process, have fun now, right before, rush, and after!
